[apologies in advance if this email is mis-tailored. I don't know which APIs you are familiar with]
In general, it is considered bad form to add an event with GET, so at minimum you've got to POST something to the server [agree? It's usually a security hole if a web site makes changes via GETs, since evil web sites can make your users do "drive by modifications"] - And that SOMETHING has got to have a body. [agree?] - What format would you like the body to be? - Google picked XML, which is pretty common these days. - In particular, they picked the ATOM flavor of XML [also pretty common] > an obscure MIME type which is unsupported in my environment. Which environment are you using? What are you trying to do?
